Cisco Small Business 200 Series Smart Switch Administration Guide
• Auto Smartport requires CDP and/or LLDP to be enabled. Auto Smartport
automatically configures an interface based on the CDP/LLDP
advertisement received from the interface.
• CDP and LLDP end devices, such as IP phones, learn the voice VLAN
configuration from CDP and LLDP advertisements. By default, the switch is
enabled to send out CDP and LLDP advertisement based on the voice
VLAN configured at the switch. Refer to the Voice VLAN and Auto Voice
VLAN sections for details.
CDP/LLDP does not distinguish if a port is in a LAG. If there are multiple ports in a
LAG, CDP/LLDP transmit packets on each port without taking into account the fact
that the ports are in a LAG.
The operation of CDP/LLDP is independent of the STP status of an interface.
If 802. 1 x port access control is enabled at an interface, the switch transmits and
receives CDP/LLDP packets to and from the interface only if the interface is
authenticated and authorized.
If a port is the target of mirroring, then according to CDP/LLDP it is considered
down.
CDP and LLDP are link layer protocols for directly-connected CDP/LLDP capable
devices to advertise themselves and their capabilities. In deployments where the
CDP/LLDP-capable devices are not directly connected and are separated with
CDP/LLDP-incapable devices, the CDP/LLDP-capable devices may be able to
receive the advertisement from other device(s) only if the CDP/LLDP-incapable
devices flood the CDP/LLDP packets they receives. If the CDP/LLDP-incapable
devices perform VLAN-aware flooding, then CDP/LLDP-capable devices can hear
each other only if they are in the same VLAN. A CDP/LLDP-capable device may
receive advertisement from more than one device if the CDP/LLDP-incapable
devices flood the CDP/LLDP packets.
This section describes how to configure LLDP. It covers the following topics:
• LLDP Overview
• Setting LLDP Properties
• Editing LLDP Port Settings
• LLDP MED
